House GOP Bill Proposes Sweeping Changes to Medicaid, SNAP, and Health Savings Accounts
Washington, D.C., USA: The new “One Big Beautiful Bill” affects key health and nutrition programs, moving up Medicaid work requirements to December 31, 2026, and cutting $800 billion over a decade. SNAP faces $300 billion in reductions, while Planned Parenthood loses Medicaid funding. The bill also expands HSAs and ICHRAs, championing “market-driven” healthcare. Critics warn that older adults and low-income beneficiaries could lose coverage, while supporters see it as a step toward personal responsibility in healthcare.
What this means for you:
If you rely on Medicaid, watch for new work requirements that may start by 2027—check your state’s stance.
In 1–3 months, your SNAP benefits might drop; plan your household budget and explore local food banks or nonprofits.
If you’re healthy and employed, you might benefit from expanded HSA and ICHRA flexibility.
In the meantime, see if state-level alternatives exist, as some states could cushion these federal cuts.

Key Entities

  • U.S. House of Representatives: Passed the sweeping bill.
  • Medicaid and SNAP: Federal programs supporting low-income, disabled, and senior populations.
  • Planned Parenthood: Potentially barred from receiving Medicaid reimbursement.
  • Rep. Judy Chu (D-CA): Vocal opponent of the cuts, warning of severe impacts.
